Is there an appeal process because the more you see it the more it’s a harsh red

Can only imagine the noise of hammy going ping when attempting a 50 yard drop goal 

I just felt mine twinge just reading your post

Edit - I'm all for player welfare but I worry about the direction that rugby might go in terms of what might be deemed a red or yellow in 20 or 30 years time.

The way the games going in 20-30yrs they’ll be grabbing a little bit of ribbon that’s tucked into their shorts, once they get it that team has to hand the ball over 😂

Tuilangi just cut that Argie in half!

Intensitee, Energee...  Sorry...

[David Hankey]

The tactics are simple really. England need to play with 14 every game.

England have the tactics spot since it went to 14 v 15 to be fair

Best we have played for a while, good to see us playing as a unit 

[FoxyPV]

Ford makes such a difference and England's tactics have been spot on here.

 

Fingers crossed Argentina romp it in the last 20 but unlikely 

[Bert]

Englands defence has been fantastic 

[Trav Le Bleu]

Usual rubbish ITV sports commentary I see.

 

When we scored our last penalty at 21-3 the commentator said "that's 27 England 3 Argentina, a 24 pt lead."

 

At least know how to score you Muppet!

[RonnieTodger]

So refreshing to not see England give away 20 dopey penalties

[foxes_rule1978]

This could be the start of something, such brilliant control play 

[Trav Le Bleu]

Now it's 27-3

[foxes_rule1978]

I think Van-Damme would appreciate our kicking

Yeah disciplined superbly. Quite ironic given a couple of posts here 

[foxes_rule1978]

Great performance, well done 

[when_you're_smiling]

Up there with the great ‘where the f’ did that come from’ performances. Astonishing really, especially after Fiji. Only worry is that could be as good as it gets.

My Welsh boss in Bordeaux reckons the game got turned off in the bar he’s in after 60 odd minutes there 🤣

I was expecting a tight game and thought after the red card it was going to be an absolute ****show. The drop goals took them by surprise and boxed them down. 

 

Will have an eye on the Japan game tomorrow and then if we can keep 15 on the pitch it should be a good game next Sunday.

Good win for England particularly with 14 men for most of the game .

 

Need to work on our discipline I guess !

Tbf England have had plenty of experience playing with 14 men, sometimes even 13, that you'd expect them to be good at it by now.

Going to Wales-Fiji tonight in Bordeaux

[BenTheFox]

Heading out to France on Wednesday. Spending a few days in Marseille abd then heading to Nice for Wales vs Portugal, England vs Japan and Italy vs Uruguay. Can't wait!

 

I really can't believe how good England were last night. Ford, Earl, Itoje and Lawes all outstanding. Hard to find a poor performance amongst them.
